The outside matters!

For today I had already made up my mind about what to post. When I saw Raumfee´s post this morning, however, I quickly changed my mind and decided to post an answer to her question. What she asked today was, if we readers had ever bought something to eat, just because we liked the design. My answer to that is Yesyesyes! While Raumfee came up with a really stylish and puristic can of sardines by Stockholm Design Lab, I would like to show you my more infantile example of such a buy. Yes, I am a fan of whimsical home accessories and ok, I even liked the content of the box...

Can you believe this is the packaging for cheese? I found the little monk and the bright and sunny yellow background to be ideal as a picture, for the kitchen for instance. And there is already another finding of this kind waiting to be assigned its new purpose: A five liter ketchup can which I will turn into a flower or herb pot!

I wave you good-bye for a nice weekend, and so would like to do this buddy.
